Don’t Leave Me In Silence don’t leave me in silence because you think it is only words maybe it is some I never heard one that could wrap me up at night spoken in pleasure at dawns first light evaporate all of my salty tears replacing trust where once were fears whisper it, chant it, sing it, say it in shout amazing what words can bring about just don’t leave me in silence "Pour yourself thick, when it is you, that you spread." |

Beautifully written! Although I would say, listen carefully! Silence often speaks volumes. Often mere words are but useless noise. Silence can speak wonders to the soul. Do not actions often speak louder than words?

exactly - the weight of silence is more unbearable than the sting of heavy-handed words. you've grasped onto that here with a firm hand showing the combination of despair and defiance that made this a good piece. esclandre [This message has been edited by esclandre (02-25-2002 01:57 AM).] |

Yet another poem for my library!! Loved this, hugs to you!! Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

too many things go unspoken in the silence. . . always good to read your heart helen. . . ------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
